With the west so polarised internally and our politicians so slow and weak to react to Russian aggression this series is a must watch. History repeats itself be it soviet and Stalinism or Putin's delusions of being another Peter the great, the Russian leaders are so Orwellian they see every event as a threat to their power or an excuse to empire build repressing their people in the process. The Cold War never ended. The west took its eye of the ball, the rules based international society that has allowed unprecedented growth and lifting people out of poverty is at threat from totalitarian despots compounded by the west not being courageous and united enough to hold the line or consistent by living by the values we defend and promote.
